Nine men suspected of distributing child pornography

SLOVAK police detained nine men suspected of involvement in the possession and distribution of child pornography as part of an operation code-named "Baleno" (lightning).

National police squads in 12 EU states and the US searched more than 150 houses and arrested several people within the operation, which resulted from a worldwide investigation led by the Dutch National Police Agency, the SITA news wire wrote.

Seven house searches and three raids on other premises took place in Slovakia in Bratislava, Trnava, Trenčín and Nitra districts, according to Slovak police spokesman Martin Korch.
